Return to Play - Concussion Protocol

Head Injury/Concussions

If a head injury is suspected, an athlete will IMMEDIATELYbe pulled from practice or the game and CANNOTreturn until a doctor's note is received clearing them to do so.

If the athlete is not diagnosed with a concussion they can resume play with the doctor's note.

If a concussion is diagnosed, there is a process put in place by the CIF and the RJUHSD to ensure that student athletes return to play appropriately. In the link provided below, you will find the exact steps required in order to play full contact, also known as the Return to Play Protocol. This is a process overseen by our campus nurse and head coaches.

Please note: Students not cleared academically (modified school schedule or modifications are still being made in class - ie: longer test times, extended time to complete current assignments...) WILL NOT BE CLEARED ATHLETICALLY.
